Peter Jackson packed his luggage. This time he is going to Hong Kong, and he may even go to the mainland of China. The time is hard to say, it may be a week, or it may be longer, so he needs to make more preparations.

A "Lord of the Rings" made New Line Films popular, as well as the director Peter Jackson and a lot of actors, making them feel what it means to be loved by Hollywood. "Lord of the Rings" has not yet After the end, they have already received a series of invitations from other Hollywood film companies.Peter Jackson, who has become an upstart Hollywood director, naturally received many invitations to direct, but he was not moved by them. On the one hand, he was already impressed by the filming of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and the subsequent promotional work. In order to be exhausted, he needs time to rest and recover his energy and fitness.In a movie, the actors work hard, but the director is not easy. You have to stare at the filming, and you have to prepare a new shot after shooting a set of shots. It can be said that as long as you don’t close your eyes and go to sleep, there is no time to rest. .

On the other hand, it was Fang Mingyuan who took the initiative to talk to him when the filming of "Lord of the Rings 3" was coming to an end. Yu created the fairy tale work "The Hobbit" with the same name, intending to let him continue to serve as the director. For this big pie from heaven, Jackson is of course very happy to find no north.It’s good to make a film under the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company, with abundant funds and a strong cast. Not to mention ordinary actors, even top Hollywood stars will not easily refuse, and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company is now in the world film industry. There is a strong appeal in the market, it can be said from the starting line.It is much higher than the average film company.No way, the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, which has not produced a substantively bad film since its establishment, is so bullish. "Lord of the Rings" can achieve such a surprising global box office results.Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company and Fang Mingyuan's publicity is also an indispensable part.

So Peter Jackson agreed without hesitation to become the contracted director of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, and became colleagues with Roland Emmerich.

During this period of time, he only had two tasks. One was to create a script for the future filming of "The Hobbit". Fang Mingyuan dictated a script outline to him. The skeleton came out, but he had to fill in the flesh and blood.Another task is that Fang Mingyuan asked him to prepare to join the crew of "Heroes"!Peter Jackson entered the "Hero" crew, of course, not to be a director, this kind of pure oriental blockbuster.If he was to guide, Fang Mingyuan believed that the film would look good, but there were too many flaws in it.He couldn't be a producer either, because Fang Mingyuan had taken up this position, so he could only be a producer's assistant.If it was another film company, this would definitely make Jackson angry at the time, and he would be considered an upstart Hollywood director.There is no unquestionable status like Cameron and Spielberg, but it is impossible to be an assistant, even a producer assistant.

But when he was asked to be Fang Mingyuan's producer assistant, Jackson couldn't say a word of rejection.Not to mention that Fang Mingyuan's status in Hollywood is much higher than him, and he is also the boss and CEO of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company, just because Fang Mingyuan appointed him to be the director of "The Lord of the Rings" at the beginning, he has a good understanding of him Grace.Peter Jackson is not the kind of person who crosses rivers and destroys bridges.And the future.He also wants to continue filming The Hobbit.

So Peter Jackson readily agreed, these days.Whenever he has time, he finds Hong Kong and domestic films to watch - Fang Mingyuan asked him to join the "Hero" crew, of course he didn't ask him to eat and not work. His duty is to help "Heroes" from the perspective of a western director. The crew of "Hero" conquered Western audiences in terms of technology, shooting techniques and plot.It's as if Chinese food enters European and American countries, and it will be modified according to the eating habits of local residents.But Fang Mingyuan told him clearly that in this process, there must be an obvious oriental style, and no results that are not flashy or western are absolutely allowed.

It was not an easy task to meet Fang Mingyuan's request, and it also caused Peter Jackson a lot of headaches.Fortunately, most of the directors and actors of "Hero" are well-known professionals in the world or in Asia, rather than unknown people, which made him feel better.Moreover, he has also read the script outline of "Hero", and knows that this is a movie with a large share of cold weapons and martial arts, and he is also very interested in the ability of Hong Kong filmmakers in martial arts design.

To be honest, the cold weapon fights in "The Lord of the Rings" are quite exciting in the eyes of Westerners, but in the East, audiences who have been fed by Hong Kong martial arts movies can only respond with "" Hehe", that is to say, the battle of the elf prince can still have some characteristics, the big scene is more spectacular.

He has watched many classic Hong Kong martial arts movies, and the dazzling martial arts scenes in them opened his eyes.Jackson also wants to learn from it, and there will definitely be a lot of battle scenes in the future "The Hobbit".And the fighting scenes in "The Matrix", which has become so popular this year, obviously have the shadow of oriental martial arts. Didn't the movie fans in Europe and the United States also enjoy it?

Thinking about it this way, Jackson felt much better.He is very clear that this is just a high point in his career as a director. If he wants to continue to climb new high points, then he must continue to learn and enrich himself.

Moreover, this is also a good opportunity to get closer to Fang Mingyuan. Peter Jackson knows that he is now only a director under the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company. Although his relationship with Fang Mingyuan is good, but with Ka Compared with Mellon and Spielberg, they are not even a star.Those two had a closer relationship with Fang Mingyuan, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were partners.

Jackson hoped that one day, the relationship between himself and Fang Mingyuan would reach that level. Not only would it mean that he would be more likely to take on Fang Mingyuan's script than other directors, but it would also mean that his position in Hollywood had a solid foundation. cornerstone.Among the film companies in Hollywood, regardless of whether they cooperate with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group or not, they have to give Fang Mingyuan some face, and Fang Mingyuan's strong financial strength will also be a non-negligible help for his own development in the future.

The box office is king in Hollywood. Although various factors are considered in the Oscar awards, and the box office is not the benchmark, for those film company bosses, the director who can make them a lot of money is the best. director.Although there are one or two high-grossing films with small productions every year, most of the top ten box office lists are still occupied by films with large investment and large productions. The cost of making films can be said to be turning around up, $[-] million?This figure, which was still unattainable ten years ago, is completely nothing now.

For Hollywood, it is not uncommon to spend 10 million dollars on a film, but in China, this figure is frighteningly high!You must know that by [-], the national film market and box office statistics were only less than [-] billion yuan, and more than half of this was earned by imported blockbusters. The works of Lake Film Group Company accounted for the majority again.

Therefore, when the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group announced that it would invest 5000 million US dollars in the production of the "Hero" trilogy, the entire Chinese and even the entire Asian film market was a sensation!The average investment of a film is 5000 million US dollars. This figure is really nothing in Hollywood, but in China, even according to the official exchange rate, it is almost 4 million US dollars. The total investment of the three films exceeded [-] The total domestic movie box office revenue for the year!Not to mention that there has never been such a large film investment in the history of Chinese film, even in South Korea and Japan, there has never been a higher investment than it.

If it was announced by other film companies, it would definitely be regarded as booing and deliberately exaggerated for the sake of publicity. However, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has released several films with an investment of over [-] million US dollars every year in the past few years. Well, among the highest-grossing films in the history of world cinema, many of them are branded by the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, so no one thinks that the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group is playing some booing.

And people soon realized that the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group invested so much money to create the "Heroes" trilogy, and it certainly wouldn't just be used to sweep the Chinese domestic market. Its goal must be to distribute it globally. Considering Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has created a trilogy of movies over the past few years, and none of them have failed so far. The global box office sweeping is planned to cost billions of dollars, and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has announced that This is a movie that tells an oriental story... so people in the film industry from all over the world are crazy about it!
Fortunately, when the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company announced the news, it had announced the list of directors and main actors at the same time. There is no difficulty in the team at all. Those stars can be said to have no hesitation, and they agreed to the salary without asking much.All fools understand that Fang Mingyuan is one of the screenwriters and also the producer himself. Peter Jackson, the director of "The Lord of the Rings", is the assistant to the producer, and he spends a huge amount of 5000 million US dollars on each film. Movie, could it be a bad movie?
